5 Key Considerations Before Investing in eClinical Technology

PE firms eyeing eClinical tech investments should evaluate five key areas: the rapidly growing market landscape (projected to hit ~$13B by 2035), core platform architecture and technical debt, regulatory compliance maturity (GxP, 21 CFR Part 11), a clear post-acquisition integration and value-creation strategy, and rigorous, objective due diligence across all dimensions.[Read More]


Proving the Value: How Laboratory Informatics Delivers Real ROI

Investing in laboratory informatics software leads to measurable ROI through increased efficiency, reduced errors, and streamlined workflows. From faster turnaround times to improved compliance and scalability, labs that adopt the right digital tools position themselves for long-term operational and financial success. [Read More]


Guide to Workflow Automation for Busy Biotech Labs

Biotech labs can control costs and boost efficiency through strategic workflow automation. By aligning LIMS, ELN, and other informatics platforms with existing processes, labs eliminate manual data re-entry, reduce bottlenecks between disconnected systems, and maintain audit-ready data integrity — freeing scientists to focus on real lab work instead of managing tech issues.[Read More]


Documentation for a New Cell Therapies Manufacturing Facility

A global biopharma company building a new cell therapies manufacturing facility lacked in-house expertise for 21 CFR 11-compliant IT documentation. Kalleid implemented a writing and review framework, trained multinational engineering teams, and managed document release through the QMS — eliminating the documentation bottleneck and keeping the facility on its go-live timeline.[Read More]


Why smarter science starts with a “digital-from-day-one” strategy

With 65% of scientists repeating experiments due to lost context and 55% of scientific data effectively "dark," life sciences organizations need a "digital-from-day-one" strategy. Building a unified lab informatics backbone before the science begins ensures audit-ready compliance, preserves workflow context, and creates the trusted data foundation AI tools require to deliver real value.[Read More]
